Not to sound like M. Twain but I think these demise rumours are "greatly exaggerated." There are still many people who prefer physical media to things like streaming. Many of us still want to be "own a physical product" rather than just view it and would still like to see the artwork and packaging on our shelves. I think unless another physically improved product to the DVD arrives, they will continue.ClassicTVMan1981X said:Well, the DVD is itself a dying breed. . . so don't really count on this to last long anyway.
Many people want to equate this with the way records faded away in the mid 80's after the advent of the CD. It's really not the same. Even though the liner notes and artwork with CD's was much smaller, the consumer still had a presented package to view signifying ownership of that item, so that pacified many casual collectors, but streaming is different. Different animal altogether. IMO
